| Summary | "Zero Data" by Charles Saphro is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. Set in a futuristic version of the 21st century, the story revolves around Jason, a determined police officer tasked with capturing the seemingly untouchable philanthropist, Lonnie Raichi. The book explores themes of crime, technology, and philosophical ethics as Jason grapples with the challenges posed by Lonnie's enigmatic success and high-level criminality. In the narrative, Jason struggles against various technological barriers that prevent him from proving Lonnie's guilt, often encountering "zero data" from advanced investigative tools. Lonnie, a savvy businessman, employs a unique philosophy that allows him to operate outside the law while maintaining an image of respectability. As Jason's investigation unfolds, he becomes increasingly frustrated with his inability to apprehend Lonnie, ultimately leading to a high-stakes confrontation involving sophisticated technology, deception, and ethical dilemmas. The story culminates in a dramatic showdown where the true depth of Lonnie's philosophy and the limitations of Jason's pursuits come to light, leaving the reader to ponder the consequences of one's actions in a world dominated by power and ambition.
